Hi, my name is Marc. I am 22 years old and a Master's student in Cyber Security @ETHZ/EPFL. I recently finished my Bachelor's degree in Business Informatics @UZH.

Why am I studying Cyber Security? In today's increasingly digital and interconnected world, cybersecurity has become a cornerstone of organizational resilience and individual safety. An organization must be aware of their surroundings at all times, constantly monitoring irregular network or host activity. I am deeply interested in learning how to protect assets, privacy, and data integrity. Moreover, I am captured by the challenge of securing systems against ever-evolving threats and understanding the mechanisms behind digital vulnerabilities.

Why did I study Business Informatics? Nowadays, information technology (IT) has become central to every organization. If you don't know how to properly utilise it, you lose out on tremendous potential gains. By studying Business Informatics, I am able to assess the usage of IT, align them with business strategies, and bring upon efficiency gains. The successful integration of IT and Business allows for innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage, showcasing the necessity of skills in both technology and strategy in the modern business environment. In my Minor (30 ECTS), I studied Banking & Finance, learning more about the financial world such as markets, risks, accounting and auditing.
